NEW YORK -- The Yankees acquired infielder Dean Anna from the Padres on Wednesday in exchange for right-handed pitcher Ben Paullus, adding him to the club's Major League roster along with five other players.

New York also added right-handers Jose Campos, Shane Greene and Bryan Mitchell to the 40-man roster, along with outfielder Slade Heathcott and catcher Gary Sanchez.

Sanchez turns 21 next month and is ranked as the team's No. 1 prospect. He combined to bat .253 (115-for-454) with 15 homers and 71 RBIs in 117 games with Advanced Class A Tampa and Double-A Trenton in 2013.

Heathcott, 23, batted .261 (104-for-399) with eight homers and 49 RBIs in 103 games with Trenton in 2013. He is listed as the Yankees' No. 7 prospect.

The 21-year-old Campos is ranked as the Yankees' No. 14 prospect. He went 4-2 with two saves and a 3.41 ERA in 26 games (19 starts) with Class A Charleston in 2013 and was acquired by the Yankees in a January 2012 trade with the Mariners that also netted right-hander Michael Pineda.

Mitchell, 22, combined to go 4-11 with a 4.71 ERA in 27 games (26 starts) with Tampa and Trenton in 2013 and has been tabbed as the Yankees' No. 18 prospect. Greene, 25, combined to go 12-10 with a 3.38 ERA in 27 games (26 starts) with Tampa and Trenton in 2013.

The Padres received the 24-year-old Paullus, who was 6-3 with a 3.01 ERA in 38 relief appearances for Class A Charleston and Tampa in 2013. A 19th-round Draft selection of the Yankees in 2011, Paullus made 32 of those appearances for Charleston.
